Map shows diversion for Halifax drivers when work begins on eastern section of A629 project
Residents have been advised which route to take to navigate the next phase of the Halifax town centre roadworks.
From next month work will begin on the eastern corridor of the A629 phase 2 Halifax town centre project around Halifax train station and the bottom end of town.
This work is set to begin after the Western Corridor is complete.
Calderdale Next Chapter shared: “Construction will move to the bottom of town.
"You will be able to get to shops, businesses and attractions, but your route might be a little different.
“Starting April – take the diversion and use the A629 route.
“Please plan ahead and allow more time for journeys in and out of Halifax.
"Walking and wheeling routes will be open.
"Your usual bus stop may be affected.”
A map shows that drivers are being advised to divert along the A629 around the top of town.
The diversion route, marked with a green arrow, will allow access to the town centre destinations from the south.
The diversion starts at the junction with Shaw Hill.
Temporary traffic lights will be in place at locations east of the town centre to keep traffic moving around work zones, shown in red.
The direction of travel for the temporary one-way route is marked with a green arrow on Church Street.
There will be no access to the south entrance to New Road, marked with a no-entry symbol.
The A629 phase two Halifax town centre project aims to create new public spaces, improve accessibility and improve vehicle circulation around the town and public transport connectivity.
